Bring large pot of water to the boil; stir in pasta. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and reserve.

Meanwhile, in a large frying pan over medium heat, cook chicken strips in chicken stock, simmering until done and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Stir in cream cheese and spinach. Return to simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in cherry tomatoes, and cook about 3 minutes more.

In a large bowl, mix together cooked, drained pasta and sauce. Let stand a few minutes before serving.
